Chemical Distribution
Every new question ("which grades lost money last quarter after freight?", "which lots are within 60 days of their shelf life?", "who owes us over 90 days?", "what is my true landed cost on this resin?", "how much regulated stock value is on the floor?") means queueing for the one person who can build a sheet. The owner has questions hourly and answers in two days.
Who has it
Sharpest for industrial and specialty chemical distributors and for import and re-packing or blending houses, who carry the margin, landed-cost and regulated-stock questions, and useful to any hands-on owner or successor across every segment.
What we build
A private question box over a fixed set of vetted business numbers (not free-form queries on the raw system), returning a sourced, traceable answer in seconds.
What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
The reliable spine
The non-AI spine is a fixed set of vetted, pre-computed business numbers (true landed cost, margin by grade, ageing, regulated-stock value) calculated deterministically over the connected layer, each answer carrying its source trail. The model cannot run free-form queries on the raw system.
Where AI helps
AI only maps the owner's plain-language question to the right vetted number and reads the answer back; the figure itself is the deterministic one, not a generated estimate. It never invents a number or makes the decision the number informs.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
What changes day to day
The owner or successor self-serves answers in seconds; the analyst stops being a human query queue.
Illustrative outcome
Decision questions answered in seconds instead of days.
Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
